The Queen's visit to Hillsborough


This colourful film beautifully evokes the sense of excitement that precipitates the arrival of the royal guest, from the display of military pageantry to the sea of expectant faces that line the streets. And then the moment arrives. A cavalcade of sleek black cars motor through the streets bearing the royal party.
